I initially (just for a brief moment) thought intel somehow add Direct3D (DirectX) support on their CPUs without turning it into an iGPU.

I'm waiting for Glide 3D to hit their hw.

Finally, something that can open the windows 11 start menu without stuttering, we sure are in the future huh

It's great to see the "cutting edge", but as for the AI bubble and data center growth, we're now at the point where models are reaching saturation. You soon will not need a powerful frontier model to do the task for you, all you'll need is a small distilled quantized model. The majority of AI usage in the near future will involve smaller efficient models provided context to do very specific redundant tasks like digitizing text, doing price comparisons, or harvesting data.

Intel slapping the side of the fab. You can do so much AI with this baby..... Wait what do you mean we are to late?? Damn. We should have just kept going with the +++++++ chip plan.

That is a massive chip.
Intel finally has an answer to threadripper?

392 pins and a heat sink the size of a Cadillac.
